20 years later, Wilt Chamberlain’s return to Kansas still produces chills

"“I'm a Jayhawk,” Chamberlain continued. “I know now why there's so much tradition here and so many wonderful things have come from here, and I'm now very much a part of it and very proud of it. Rock Chalk Jayhawk.”

With that, another roar came from the 16,300-plus who were standing the entire time."

It's the 20th anniversary of the day The Big Dipper returned to Lawrence.

And I concur, Bay--anything about Wilt and the Hawks is a great read!

Also a great read about Jo Jo; the LJW was rocking it with the historical nostalgia today!

“With kindest regards to Dr. Forrest C. Allen, the father of basketball coaching, from the father of the game.”
